One
goal of FEMA is to encourage and support the dissemination of hazard,
disaster, and emergency management-related information in colleges
and universities across the U.S. We believe that in the future more
and more emergency managers in government as well as in business
and industry will come to the job with college education that includes
a degree in emergency management. We also believe that in order
to build disaster resistant and resilient communities a broad range
of college students and professionals need courses that introduce
them to hazards, disasters, and what to do about them.
In support of this effort, the
Emergency Management Institute in Emmitsburg, Maryland, has undertaken
several projects with the aim of promoting college-based emergency
management education for future emergency managers and other interested
personnel.
For a listing of colleges and universities
offering emergency management courses, certificates or degree programs,
go to The College List.
The description of the school's programs and points of contact information
is found in the "College List" link.
